Remember when there was a small mishap during the fireworks display in Portland a few years ago? Thankfully no one was seriously injured and better safety measures have since been put into place to assure that it doesn't happen again.

In this video you can see a small fire start near the launching area of the fireworks. As the fire intensifies, the fireworks prematurely explode causing low level explosions.

This years fireworks display promises to be bigger and better than ever with a start time around 9:20. Make sure you get there early to grab a good spot!
